What You Can Expect

  • A clearer compass

    Understanding your own values well enough to actually use them, not just naming them once, but checking real decisions against them going forward. Once that compass is in place, you’ll keep using it long after coaching ends, for the next decision and the one after that.

  • Confident leadership

    Fewer avoided conversations, better delegation, and a clearer read on when to push and when to let something go. You’ll get better at managing up and across, handling conflict without avoiding it or overreacting to it, and staying steady even in the most high-stakes moments.

  • Steadier transitions

    Retirement, becoming a parent, a health diagnosis, a career pivot: these moments tend to knock loose the routines and identity you’d been relying on for years. We rebuild your footing deliberately, so you come out the other side oriented, not just having survived it.

  • Breaking the loop

    The same conflict keeps finding you: a different job, a different boss, a different relationship, the same reaction. We don’t just interrupt it where it shows up. We find the blueprint underneath it and rewrite that, so the loop actually breaks instead of relocating.

  • Room to breathe

    Not just visible progress, like a promotion or a new title, but a sustainable way of working day to day: energy left at the end of a Tuesday, and the ability to be present with people, not just in the room. You’ll leave with less to white-knuckle through.

  • Measurable progress

    We set concrete goals together at the start, not vague hopes, and return to them throughout the engagement, not just at the end. You’ll be able to point to specific decisions made and patterns broken, not just a general sense that things feel better.

How An Engagement Works

PROCESS

We'll start with a free 30-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit. I'll walk you through how coaching works and what to expect. I never ask anyone to commit on that first call, and I'd rather you take time afterward to decide if it's right for you.

Most engagements run 3 to 9 months, meeting twice a month, though some clients see real movement in as few as four sessions. Timelines depend on you and your goals: a single, targeted concern may need less time; more ambitious or comprehensive goals usually benefit from a longer runway. Clients also pause, return, and shift focus. It's a flexible process, built around you.

INVESTMENT

$175 for 55 minutes, $90 for 30 minutes. I charge the same rate for every client, individual or organizational, and I have not raised it in years. This is a choice I feel strongly about, not an oversight. Coaching, and executive coaching especially, is often priced as a luxury good, out of reach for anyone without an employer footing the bill. I don't think a higher price tag makes for better coaching, and I don't want cost to be what keeps someone out of a room they'd benefit from. A first-time manager, a nurse, a new parent, and a senior executive all get the same training, the same experience, and the same rate when they work with me. That's by design, and it's not going to change.

FAQs that

come up often

  • We'll start with a free consultation to determine if working together is a good fit. I never ask anyone to commit during that call.

  • Typically 3 to 9 months, meeting twice a month, though it depends entirely on your goals. See “How an Engagement Works” above.

  • $175 for 55 minutes, $90 for 30 minutes, the same for everyone. I've kept this rate flat for years on purpose. I believe access to good coaching shouldn't depend on how much you or your employer can spend, and I'd rather work with a wide range of people at one fair rate than price out anyone who isn't being sponsored by a company.

  • Not at all, and honestly, some of my favorite engagements have nothing to do with career. I work often with clients navigating big life transitions (parenthood, retirement, illness, loss) and with clients who simply want more clarity on what matters to them and why. If your goals are personal rather than professional, you're very much in the right place.

  • Yes. A significant part of my practice is coaching senior leaders on the challenges specific to that altitude: managing up and across, leading through ambiguity, executive presence, high-stakes conflict, and the isolation that can come with more responsibility. I've worked with senior leaders at many high-profile companies and nonprofit organizations.

  • You may see coaching described elsewhere with that term, and much of my work does touch on life outside of work. But I want to be specific about my training: I'm a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coach Federation, the field's primary credentialing body, with 2,700+ hours of coaching experience and 600+ hours of formal training in developmental psychology, integral growth, and conflict resolution. Coaching is a specific skill set in an unregulated industry, so credentials matter. I'd encourage you to ask any coach you're considering about theirs.

  • My practice is primarily focused on individual coaching. I also consult with organizations on executive leadership, conflict resolution, organizational effectiveness, board development, and staff training. Use the contact form for organizational inquiries.
